ACCORDING TO GUNDUNGURRA
DREAMING, three beautiful
sisters named Meehni, Wimlah
and Gunnedoo once lived with
the Gundungurra people in the
Jamison Valley.
The maidens were in love
with three brothers from the
neighbouring nation of the
Dharruk people, but marriage
was forbidden by tribal law.
The brothers were warriors and
decided to take the maidens by
force. Tribal war forced the
Kuradjuri (clever man) of the
Gundungurra people to turn the
sisters into stone. He intended
to restore them after the danger
had passed and the war had
ended. Unfortunately, the
Kuradjuri (clever man) was killed
in the battle and to this day
nobody has been able to break
the spell and turn the Three
Sisters back to their natural
form. [This is one of a number
of versions of the legend].
